Formula
Quality-point deficit = (Target GPA − Current GPA) × completed creditsThe deficit is the total quality points you would need to add across all coursework to reach the target, based on credits completed so far. A positive deficit means you need to earn more points than average on future credits; a negative deficit means you are already ahead.
Examples
Current GPA 2.8, 50 credits done, target 3.2
Deficit = (3.2 − 2.8) × 50 = 20 quality points.
